GREEN BAY, Wis., Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Three Aaron Rodgers TD passes, a record-equaling kickoff return and a huge defensive play Thursday gave Green Bay a season-opening 42-34 win over New Orleans.
The Packers opened defense of their Super Bowl title in the first of the league's 256 regular-season games -- a wide open contest in which six of the 10 touchdown plays traveled at least 17 yards.
